+<section id="GUID-D58AC61D-AA0B-4F8C-A0B7-8762E9A4DD83"><title>Introduction</title> <p>The I2C is a serial bus technology invented by Philips. The I2C
+is a multi master serial interface used by the low power peripherals
+to exchange data. The I2C supports different modes of data transfer
+and three commonly used modes are: </p> <ul>
+<li id="GUID-F6E78BBF-D1D3-5947-A2CA-E33D31B38D67"><p> <i>Standard</i> mode supports 100Kbps data transfer </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-FE480522-51A6-5A8B-99D3-1324E594220F"><p> <i>Fast</i> mode supports 400Kbps data transfer </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-5A7AA88F-C3FF-55C1-B9E3-1FEBDF899DA8"><p> <i>High speed </i> mode supports 3.4Mbps data transfer </p> </li>
+</ul> </section>
+<section id="GUID-E820265D-FBF1-47CC-BE37-27CD9BD8BA61"><title>Architecture</title> <p>The I2C bus contains 2 bi-directional lines, a serial clock (SCL)
+and serial data (SDA) lines. In the I2C bus, more than one device
+could act as Master device. There can be only one master device active
+at a given time. The master device initiates the communication and
+slave responds to the master. The master and slave devices can be
+interchanged after a data <codeph>STOP</codeph> signal is sent from
+the master. The master device can address more than one slave at a
+time. </p> <fig id="GUID-2A0703D3-013C-59C6-86B1-98513D484586">

+The I2C bus uses 7 or 10 bit address. </p> </section>

+<li id="GUID-B63B7E4E-7C22-5AB3-803A-9B7E42B36A80"><p>the master device
+can send and receive data from the slave device </p> </li>

+<li id="GUID-9A9175F0-B6D9-52CA-818B-C9B028EE8DFE"><p>only uses 2
+bi-directional lines for communication </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-B32C597E-1973-5F4B-8E2B-42C8E5696504"><p>multiple master
+device can be connected to the same bus </p> </li>
+</ul> </section>
+<section id="GUID-97A176BF-0300-4A1C-81D2-3FA5A4315456"><title>Communication</title> <p>The first byte from the master is used to address the slave device.
+In the first byte the master sends the address and read/write signal
+to the slave. There are three types of messages: </p> <ol id="GUID-4A10967B-8F72-5145-82F1-20C438B839D3">
+<li id="GUID-494BEC9B-22C6-535C-87C4-B9D5572F0F3C"><p>master just
+reads data from the slave </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-B50B3F0A-35B1-528F-B2DD-9FF5709FAF1B"><p>master just
+writes data to the slave </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-31A59E28-9677-535C-A5FB-990F40E53539"><p>master reads
+and writes data </p> </li>
+</ol> <p>The communication is initiated with a start signal and completed
+with a stop bit. In the third type of message the master starts the
+communication with a start signal with a read or write bit to the
+slave. The process continues until the master has completed the read
+and write tasks. The communication is terminated with a stop signal. </p> </section>
